My business in Hong Kong is to write about it so others can be informed and hopefully spend most of their valuable time enjoying it to the utmost. I hit the bars, dine til I can eat no more at restaurants that have stood the test of time and at new ones that are the talk of the town. I check out the latest attractions and then drop dead-tired in as many hotels as I can fit in my schedule. One of the things I’ve learned is that Hong Kong is for business travelers, as well as leisure ones.

And I’ve been doing it for 30 years. Hong Kong Makes Doing Business a Pleasure is a roundup of some of my discoveries, published in Global Traveler. And it’s true, Hong Kong is a great place for business travelers. There are restaurants galore, some of the best hotels in the world, and a wealth of shopping and sightseeing opportunities that can be slipped into a busy itinerary no matter where you are. You can spend all day in a business meeting, go to dinner at a fabulous restaurant with views over the glittering city and then get up on your day off and hike the Dragon’s Back Trail right in the middle of Hong Kong Island.

But no matter how long your trip, it won’t be long enough. It never is for me.
